My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 154 - Are You Crazy

Chapter 154 - Are You Crazy

When she finally realized the hidden meaning of Zhou Shufen's words, Jiang Ruolan looked at her calmly and said, "Being romantic is not a good thing. Being warm and peaceful is life. As for my husband's heart …" In the blink of an eye, she looked towards Xian Zihao, who had a leisurely smile on his face. "He has me in his heart. No matter where I fly, I will be able to find him!"

Zhou Shufen smiled softly, seemingly not intending to talk to her any longer. She looked at Xian Zihao in the blink of an eye. "After so many years, how about we find time to go out and have a talk?"

"Since you came to H City with Qin Gengxin, why didn't I hear him talking about you?"

"He's my boss now, so why would he mention such an insignificant employee like me?" Zhou Shufen's words were true.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know who Zhou Shufen was, but when she mentioned that Qin Gengxin was her superior, her tone was as though she talked about a friend and not a superior or subordinate.

What kind of status did Qin Gengxin have? Qin Family was not a lowly family in H City. They had been famous in the business world for many years. Qin Group was a world-renowned Chinese company, but the esteemed CEO Qin was touted as an old friend in Zhou Shufen's mouth.

With Xian Zihao's extraordinary bearing and charisma, he was often the focus of women's attention. They could not refrain from looking at him several times or looking at him with admiration and caution.

But in front of Xian Zihao, Zhou Shufen was like a proud and smiling little lioness, firmly staring at her prey. She stood in front of him confidently and looked at him with a little bit of l.u.s.ter and arrogance in her eyes. When Xian Zihao looked at her, he was just like Jiang Ruolan, undisturbed.

Xian Zihao just smiled and continued to hold Jiang Ruolan's hand. He didn't seem to have any doubts or comments on Zhou Shufen's action of going to work in Qin Group.

Xian Zihao suddenly took the folder in Jiang Ruolan's hands, looked through it, and whispered to her, "a.s.sistant Bai asked you to send it?"

"No, I was not too busy this afternoon. I heard from a.s.sistant Bai that there was an urgent need for these meeting materials, and as I had nothing to do, I sent it myself. She did not tell me to send it over, so don't blame her." Jiang Ruolan replied subconsciously.

"Do I look like someone who would casually criticize his subordinates?" Xian Zihao laughed and sighed.

"You have so many big and small meetings every day, so logically, these meetings should have been backed up long ago. Why haven't a.s.sistant Bai and Secretary Du made any backups yet?"

"It was the negligence of the a.s.sistant that led to this oversight." Xian Zihao looked at the folder in his hands. When he saw that there were no problems with it, he closed it.

"President Xian!" Suddenly, a.s.sistant Bai came out of Xian Group's building. "CEO Zhuan, Vice CEO Chen, and the others were already waiting in the conference room."

Xian Zihao handed the folder to a.s.sistant Bai and said, "Go and make a copy. After the meeting ends, send a new electronic version to my mailbox."

Then he said softly to Jiang Ruolan, "I'll go for a meeting first. Be careful on your way back to the company."

Jiang Ruolan nodded. Knowing that the meeting couldn't be delayed, she didn't pester him but waved him away instead. Xian Zihao was just about to turn around when he suddenly stopped.

He glanced at Zhou Shufen, his gaze on her was calm and collected as he nodded to her indifferently after a single glance. Then, he entered Xian Group's building.

The moment Xian Zihao's figure left, Zhou Shufen's intelligent eyes suddenly met Jiang Ruolan's gaze. She smiled brilliantly, "Miss Jiang, how long have you and Zihao been married?"

Jiang Ruolan didn't expect Zhou Shufen to ask such a straightforward question. She calmly looked at the measuring look in her eyes and the smile in her eyes.

This Zhou Shufen was not a simple person!

Jiang Ruolan blinked her eyes and smiled as she looked at her. "Miss Zhou seems to be very concerned about this problem?"

"Of course." Zhou proudly placed both of her hands behind her back. Her elegant, distant eyebrows slowly raised, and a trace of cold arrogance appeared in her smiling eyes. "If I'm not wrong, Miss Jiang, you should know me, right?"

"I don't know you." Jiang Ruolan's reply was neither polite nor tactful.

As if noticing the faint estrangement from Jiang Ruolan's body, Zhou Shufen's eyes sparkled. She was completely unaffected by her att.i.tude. "But I know you. You are the chief editor in the Department of Business under the Qin Group."

Zhou Shufen stared at Jiang Ruolan's work ID and said word by word. "Coincidentally, I will be visiting companies investing under Qin Group for a few days. Before I return to headquarters, I need to write a summary. It seems we will interact again in the future."

"There are many companies and branches with domestic investment under Qin Group. I'm afraid you and I will not have much time to interact with each other." Jiang Ruolan removed her working ID and put it in her pocket.

"But I heard that our President Qin is very interested in the Fengyu Media Company." Zhou Shufen's brilliant smile couldn't hide her cold arrogance.

She raised her hand and carelessly touched the pearl earring on her small ears. Her smiling eyes were like Xian Zihao's, with penetrating power.

That confident and calm smile, that uncontrollable cold arrogance and that faint a.s.surance in her eyes.

It was as if she and Xian Zihao had been in love with each other for years, and they had somewhat merged their characters over time.

"I'm not sure about that. How can a small employee like me know what's playing on President Qin's mind?" Jiang Ruolan smiled and looked at the time on her wrist. "Miss Zhou, I'm sorry. I rushed out of the company on the spur of the moment. It's still business hours. I have to go back now."

After saying that, Jiang Ruolan left without looking back.

That night, after Jiang Ruolan got off work, Xiong Ruogang invited her to KTV with her cla.s.smates.

Jiang Ruolan thought about it and called Xian Zihao to tell him that she might be coming home late.

However, after calling him twice, no one answered. Thinking that he might be busy, or his phone might not be by his side, she sent him a message.

After they arrived at KTV, Xiong Ruogang began to show her childish att.i.tude and pulled her two friends to sit down. She hugged the microphone and began to howl loudly.

Xiong Ruogang had a good lung capacity, she even managed to sit on the marble coffee table with a deep expression while singing Chen Yi Xun's "I Have Been Here" every time she finished "Save" and a "Love Is Dead".

She sang and played very happily. Jiang Ruolan shook her head when she saw her antics.

She sat on the sofa and ate the watermelon on the fruit platter while applauding. As they all sang their hearts out, Jiang Ruolan took her phone out of her bag and opened it to check, but there was no reply from Xian Zihao.

It was already 7 PM. Was he still busy?

She wasn't the type of woman that was too attached to him. Even if she had too many questions, even if she hadn't seen any missed calls or text messages from him, even if she had dialed his number countless times, she would still cancel it in the end.

Jiang Ruolan wanted to know where Xian Zihao was and what he was doing, but she didn't want to be too entangled.

However, Zhou Shufen's appearance in the afternoon still broke the calmness in her heart. She could show no signs of weakness, not being servile or overbearing, but it didn't mean that she didn't care. When a woman's mind was so meticulous, she cannot sit still.

"Sis Jiang, come here and sing with us!"

Suddenly, Xiong Ruogang's small claw grabbed and pulled her hand. Jiang Ruolan threw her phone back into the bag.

"Aiya, when we're at KTV, I hated people who always played with their phones! Hurry up and sing with me! I have ordered many songs, and I am so tired of singing on my own. My friends all chose not to sing with me. I want you to sing for me! Come on!"

Jiang Ruolan couldn't do anything about it. She was pulled in front of the TV by Xiong Ruogang.

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head to see the song she (Xiong Ruogang) had clicked on. She then turned her gaze to the rest of the audience. "I don't know how to sing these songs." Her intention was not to sing; she was not in the mood.

"Then what do you want to sing? Old song or new song? Who is your favorite singer? I'll help you find it!" Xiong Ruogang sat down beside her and excitedly helped her choose a song.

Jiang Ruolan's gaze s.h.i.+fted to the song list. When she saw Pan Yuanyun's 'Am I Your Most Beloved One', her heart stirred slightly. "I want to sing this song."

She held the microphone tightly and began to sing as soon as the music was played.

'It's never been cold because you're behind me

You always whisper that I am in the dark

You are always careful and gentle to protect me like this

Now don't look at me again for what

I cry my eyes red

I remember you said you wouldn't let me cry

Am I the person you love the most

Why don't you talk

I'm sorry to hold your cold hand and not move it

Am I the person you love the most

Why don't you talk

When I need you, you are silent'

****

When Jiang Ruolan and the rest came out of the KTV, it was already past ten at night. Standing in the gorgeous night sky and looking at the city's lights, Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and looked at her phone.

Still no reply from Xian Zihao. She couldn't get through him.

Her heart tightened as her hand trembled. The way she raised her head to look at the pa.s.sing cars seemed to have changed a little.

Jiang Ruolan held her phone tightly and walked to the side of the road. She stretched out her hand to stop the taxi.

Suddenly, she saw a little red in the corner of her eye. Jiang Ruolan turned her body slightly and saw a red Ferrari parked on the left side of the road. However, the place was not a parking lot.

She paused, then slowly walked in that direction and knocked on the window.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Qin Gengxin's face. She immediately frowned, "Why did you park your car here? Aren't you afraid the traffic police will come and drag your car away?"

As soon as she bent down to speak to the person inside the car, she smelled a very strong smell of alcohol. Jiang Ruolan immediately covered her nose and looked speechlessly at Qin Gengxin. She patted his face. "Why are you drinking so much again?"

Qin Gengxin's gaze stopped on her body for a long time before he regained her focus. "It's you?"

Jiang Ruolan frowned, "Drinking so much and driving? And park here? Are you crazy?"

Qin Gengxin rubbed his temples. His throat was a little hoa.r.s.e from the alcohol, but he still gave her a vague smile and sighed, "What can I do? Do you really think I'm that free? I have to meet customers and partners in the country every day, and so many businesses need to be discussed at the table. Having a meal in the afternoon and dinner in the evening, already reached my limit but those old men are still excitedly going to the nightclub to continue drinking. I really can't take it anymore, so I left my a.s.sistant there to accompany them."

"Then why did you park here?"
